- #1lib1ref mid-campaign update (Alex Stinson)

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Hey #1lib1ref organizers, WikiLibrarians and GLAM-Wiki enthusiasts,
We wanted to send a brief update on how the campaign is going:
As of writing the email, the campaign has tracked over 1930 contributions by 392 contributos in 1332 articles in 15 different languages (remember we expect we are missing 1/4-1/2 of contributions that don't use the hashtag). This well surpasses our [https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons contributions from last year], and we still have another week and a half to go! We published a brief update blog at https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/01/24/1lib1ref-first- week-highlights/ to highlight these accomplishments.
We have seen a slightly smaller amount of blogging and newsletters as part of the Campaign this year. We think this may be in part, because the campaign is less novel and in part because of the broad number of distractions in the press at the moment (we actually think this means we have been more grassroots this year which is a good signal for the network for Wikipedia and libraries). If you find pieces of press or blogs, make sure to share them at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Press
We are testing a Central Notice Banner, to encourage Wikimedians to go talk to their librarians about #1lib1ref. So far we have seen pageview activity from Wikipedians, but it is not clear how much that will transfer into activity. We have yet to see a social media boost or huge boost in participation using the hashtag. If you want to try the banner in your language, instructions are below [1]
We could still use your help reminding librarians in your context to participate! Something as simple as visiting your library and showing the librarians how to add a citation to Wikipedia, or sending an email to your local library organiziations, would be awesome. Sharing in digital communications attracts some participants to the campaign, but we also know that many of participants are encouraged by friends, peers, colleagues or patrons to participate.
We look forward to seeing what other activities events emerge this year. If you need help, make sure to contact the Wikipedia Library team.
Keep up the energy through February 3!
Alex Stinson
